Dick Kantenberger named Marketing Director at Rainard School for Gifted Students

March 30, 2012

I have been hired by the Rainard School for Gifted Students to be Director of Marketing. Actually I’ll be doing what I have been for the last year and a half in the way of promotion, PR and advertising except the efforts are being expanded and will now include recruiting, fund raising, grants and endowments; and of course I will be paid.

It is a wonderful feeling to be paid for something your love to do and are passionate about. I will continue on as a member of the Board of Directors.

We will be initiating a gifted education summer program this year called Summer Incitement! which will run from late June through most of July. We will have weekly courses to accommodate gifted students from K through high school. All students that are in gifted programs in their public or private schools are eligible to attend.

The program this summer is directed by Sharyl George, one of the great math teachers at Rainard. If you have questions, please contact her at sgeorge@rainard.org or call her at the school at 713-647-7246.

Information on the wide range of fun and challenging courses can be found now at www.rainard.org and click on Summer and then Summer Incitement!

Rainard School for Gifted Students, where gifted students thrive, is the only non-profit K-12 gifted school in the Houston area. Rainard is celebrating it’s 26th year in Houston, located on a wooded four acre campus on the west side of town one block north of the Katy Freeway (I-10) between Wilcrest and Kirkwood.

For additional information, contact Dr. Todd Deveau, Head of School at tdeveau@rainard.org or 713-647-7246.

Thomas Jefferson, 1782

We did not listen then. Will we now?
